I wish I had something great and inspirational to say, my dearest heart, but I don't. Know that you have both my sympathy and empathy, and if there is anything, anything, I can do for you or yours, please don't hesitate to ask it of me. I'll do it in a heartbeat.

I love you, as great and deeply as kindred spirits found on the interwebs can, and if my thoughts have any power over the course of events, you'll get through this. Take care of your family, and let them take care of you.

*too many hugs to count*
